Cambridge ESOL teaching awards

Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) offers the world's leading range of certificates for both learners and teachers of English.  A Cambridge ESOL certificate can help you gain entrance to college or university, improve your prospects at work, or simply provide a measure of your progress in English.  It operates in a hundred and thirty five countries worldwide and each year over one and three quarter million people attempt to gain a Cambridge ESOL qualification.

Cambridge ESOL is part of Cambridge Assessment, formerly known as UCLES (University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate), a non-teaching department of the University of Cambridge, England.  Cambridge Assessment is Europe's largest assessment agency and one of the largest internationally recognised assessment agencies in the world.  A not-for-profit organisation, it is currently celebrating it's one hundred and fiftieth anniversary (2008).

TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) are umbrella terms for all the various English language teaching awards available worldwide.  As such, all Cambridge ESOL teaching awards are 'TEFL courses' (or 'TESOL courses').

DELTA at ITI

DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an advanced teaching qualification for experienced teachers.
http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/teaching-awards/delta.html

The Cambridge ESOL DELTA teaching award is now in a new modular format that makes it more convenient for working teachers.

The modular DELTA consists of three modules, each of which links into and supports the others. In theory, the modules can be done in any order but in practice it's best to do them in the order they're presented below, i.e., Module 1, then Module 2, then Module 3.

DELTA Module 1 - Understanding Language, Methodology and Resources

We are offering two DELTA Module 1 courses in 2009, one part-time course over eight weeks beginning early April, and one full-time course over 2 weeks beginning early June.

Your performance in Module 1 will be assessed by examination, in June if you attended the part-time course, or in December if you attended the full-time course. The exam consists of two papers of 90 minutes each with a 30 minute break between them.

We will be offering an on-line DELTA Module 1 course in the near future, priced at 250 GBP.

DELTA Module 1 dates and fees

Part-time	20th March 2009  —  29th May 2009	Exam in June 2009
8 weeks	Fridays 13.30-18.00	400 GBP

On-line group projects

Once you have been accepted for the course and we have received your deposit payment you will be sent a set of login details and directed to our on-line 'Module 1 Study Room' where the on-line group projects will take place.

Directed study

Part-time attendees will be expected to do between 10 and 15 hours of directed study each week. Time spent collaborating on online group projects is part of the directed study requirement but not all of it.

DELTA Module 2 - Developing Professional Practice

Our December 2008 to June 2009 part-time DELTA Module 2 course is now full.

Our next part-time DELTA Module 2 course will run from the 12th June to the 8th Decmeber 2009.

We hope to run a full-time DELTA Module 2 course over 5 weeks in June and July (exact dates to be confirmed).

10 peer observations

4 assessed teaching assignments

You must teach 2 unassessed and 4 assessed lessons. Each teaching assignment is observed by a tutor and includes a 2500 word background written assignment. Your last teaching assignment will be externally assessed, i.e., the tutor will come from a different training centre.

Written assignment

You must complete a 5000 word written assignment divided into two halves. The first half is a 2500 word evaluation of your own teaching practice, the second half a 2500 word evaluation of a teaching technique or method that is new to you.

DELTA Module Three - Extending Practice and ELT Specialism

We are offering two 'blended' DELTA Module 3 courses in 2009. Blended learning is a mixture of on-site and distance (online) learning.

DELTA Module 3 dates and fees

Blended	January 2009  —  June 2009
Submission deadline	June 2009	300 GBP

Blended	October 2009  —  December 2009
Submission deadline	December 2009	300 GBP

A fully online DELTA Module 3 course should be available on demand by June 2009 at the latest (precise date is to be confirmed).

Components of DELTA Module 3

Module Three consists entirely of a single written assignment of 4000-4500 words in which you design a course for a particular group of learners.

You must complete the assignment individually, using resources that are part of your directed reading (including online resources) and self-study guides.

Tutor support and guidance on early drafts of your assignment will be available.

We will also offer an on-line 'Module 3 Study Room' if enough candidates are simultaneously enrolled and interested in the motivation that peer support can provide.

Application procedure

Applicants must observe the following application procedure:

1. Please read the application form completion notes and then complete the online application form  including the written assignment.  On receipt of a fully completed application form we will contact you to arrange a date for your interview.
2. Face to face interviews may be conducted individually or as part of a group, and you should allow two hours for the process. Telephone interviews are approximately 45 mins long.  N.B. Telephone interviews are only for people who don't live in or around Istanbul.
3. Face-to-face interviewees will be sent a number of interview preparation tasks on various aspects of the English language and language teaching methodology. These should be completed and returned to the school by email at least one full day before the interview date.
4. Telephone interviewees will be sent the same set of interview preparation tasks as face-to-face interviewees, plus another set of tasks that face-to-face interviewees complete at the school on the day of their interview. This second set of tasks must be hand written and faxed (or scanned and emailed) to the school at least one full day before the telephone interview is scheduled to begin.
5. The aim of these tasks is to help us assess your suitability for the course, as well as your ability to develop an awareness of language.
6. If successful you will be offered a place on the next available course and asked to pay a non-refundable £200 (GBP) deposit to secure your place on that course.  Payment may be in cash, by cheque, or via electronic transfer, e.g., internet banking.  Bank account details are available upon request.  See the contact page for details of our postal address (for cheque payments).

N.B. This application procedure applies to all the Cambridge ESOL teaching awards we provide here at ITI.  Check individual course pages for details of any additional steps (or changed steps) to the procedure for that particular course.
